Bingo Just Got a Glow-Up: Smash Burgers, Mocktails & Mayhem on June 29

Jun 16, 20262 min read

Forget everything you think you know about bingo. No church basement folding chairs. No lukewarm coffee. We’re taking the most chaotic game on earth, dressing it in gourmet smash burgers and faux Negronis, and turning Monday night into the place to be.

On Monday, June 29 at 6 p.m., Tucson Doobie is throwing an all-inclusive evening of food, cannabis activations, and the kind of competitive bingo energy that makes grown adults gasp over a free space. Grab your friends. Grab your daubers. This one’s special.

The Star of the Show: Bisou Burger

If you know, you know — and if you don’t, you’re about to. Bisou Burger is Tucson’s rising smash burger truck, the brainchild of co-owners William Jacobs and Jeff Garland, two chefs who met in the kitchen at Tito & Pep before deciding the world needed better burgers. It started with big parties at their house. Then they started charging for those big parties. Pop-ups followed, collaborations around town followed, and a devoted following followed all of it.

The menu stays small, the sourcing stays intentional, and the truck moves where the community gathers. Scratch cooking, tight execution, no gimmicks — just a perfectly crisp-edged smash burger that tastes like it knows exactly what it’s doing. 

And yes — a vegan option is available, because nobody should have to play bingo on an empty stomach.

What’s Included With Every Ticket

This is the all-inclusive part, and we mean all:

  • A gourmet smash burger by Bisou Burger (vegan option available!)
  • Handmade fries
  • Ice cream (or sorbet, if that’s your vibe)
  • Kimchi popcorn (not vegan, wildly addictive)
  • A mocktail — think slushies, faux Negronis, bright spritzes
  • Four bingo boards, with the Bingo Boyz running the chaos
  • Sponsor activations with Prime Leaf Dispensary and Trulieve
  • Four full bingo games — and yes, winners win prizes

Big Thanks to Our Sponsors

This night wouldn’t pop the way it’s about to without Prime Leaf Dispensary and Trulieve, who are bringing the activations and the good energy. Come say hi, see what they’ve got going on, and lean into the experience.

@Lovinspoonfulstucson is closing after more than 20 years in Tucson. Its final day of service runs on Saturday, Oct. 24.

Customers can stop in between now and Saturday for one last meal. The team plans to sell down its inventory, though it hopes to have favorite dishes available. Regular hours remain 9am-3pm through the final day.

“Running this kitchen has been a labor of love, but the numbers just aren’t adding up anymore, and as parents, we have to make the hard choice to step back and take care of what matters most at home.”
